Tik Tik sulks inside her room, keeping the lights dim as she scribbles words upon the page of her book. Not even the comforts of this superb hotel are enough to bring genuine cheer back into the kobold's heart.

When she closes her eyes, Tik Tik can seethe bright, confident Andromeda humiliated and defeated by a demon Tik Tik helped bring back into this world. It's all because of her that the Tournament even exists. It's because of her that the people she wishes were happy are suffering.

"Why am I feeling this way?" the kobold writes, her shoulders hunched, her snout so close to the page that she can smell the parchment. "I'm a kobold. I shouldn't care about what others are feeling when it doesn't directly affect me!. My friends are my treasures, and I collect them to learn more and enjoy more, not feel bad when they break!"

Tik Tik growls and scratches out that last piece of writing, pushing the book aside and hopping off of her chair in a huff.

Knock, knock, knock.

Tik Tik's head perks up, and she waves her hand, a ghostly claw opening the door to reveal to her a kobold towering over her height--Izon. She carries a book close to her chest as she stands in the doorway, looking downward, not just in size but in respect.

After a pronounced silence, the taller kobold says. "Uh... Mistress Tik Tik, or... Professor... is that what I should call you?"

Tik Tik frowns a moment, tilting her head. "Professor? I'm no teacher!"

"Oh, but you are!" Izon says. "I've studied everything I could about you, and ever since I got to meet you for the Tournament, I've been wanting to learn from you."

"You don't want to get close to me," Tik Tik says, plopping herself on a soft cushion in a dark corner of her darkroom. "Too much trouble, and besides, we're technically opponents, now. We could be going up against each other... if you can beat Draykan, that is."

"Yes, well, I was hoping that maybe you could help me prepare for that."

Tik Tik quirks a brow ridge at that. "What can I do to help with that?"

"Well, according to my research on your..." she says, fumbling through her book and notes. Izon looks towards Tik Tik, giving an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry. It's difficult to go through this without a table and all... can I please come in?"

Tik Tik waves her hand, and Izon steps inside, the door closing behind her.

"Well, ever since I got here, I got a lot more information," Izon continues, laying out the book on the writing desk. "And it seems that you visited a university where there was one Professor Squeaks. During that time, you helped her in teaching erotic alchemy, including taking samples from a certain blue dragon."

"Yes, I know Draykan," Tik Tik says. "Rather intimately."

"And my sources say you've discovered a means of transmutation within kobolds," Izon continues. "A means that can turn a kobold into a dragon. I... I would humbly request that you teach me this technique."

Tik Tik stands up from her lump, her tail swishing back and forth. "It's a dangerous technique. I haven't taught it to any other kobold. Then again, I don't make it a habit to spread it around." The pink kobold places her hands on her hips. "Why do you think you want it? Just to beat Draykan?

"No, not just that, but... I want to learn all the magic I can. Eroarcana is the frontier of new magic, but there's only so much our kobold bodies can do. I could manipulate much better spells if I were to ascend to become a dragon."

Tik Tik steps through the room, bringing forth a piece of chalk and attaching it to her tail with her magical spells. She draws a circle upon the ground as she considers Izon. The teacher kobold steps into the middle of her ring, tossing the thing once she's done towards the other kobold. "Follow my lead," Tik Tik says. "Maybe it's time I start to pass down my knowledge to others."

The chalk bounces in Izon's hands a couple times before she finally catches it. She beams and gets down to mimic the circle that Tik Tik drew."

"This technique emulates a potion that I helped to develop. Without the secret ingredient, you run the risk of catching the attention of the dragon goddess of fertility, as this spell invokes her power. That's no big deal here in the tourTournamentcause Xasandra is watching this Tournament; I'd advise not using this too much without cultivating dragon weed from the sea."

Tik Tik closes her eyes and recites the arcane incantation that she has worked on since her initial transformation, which feels like so long ago. The rush of draconic and divine energy rushes through her. The ennui that plagues the kobold zaps away as she rears back. Her clothes tear, her scales harden, her teeth sharpen, and her breasts emerge and expand. Soon, she towers over the other kobold with glowing blue eyes and smoke rising up from her nostrils.

Izon gulps, but she recites the incantations, feeling that same rush come through her. It's too late to turn back now, as the thrill of excitement fills her, her own body feeling that same explosion of delight and power.

The tiny room designed for kobolds soon seems to be much too small as the now transformed kobold, curvier than Tik Tik and a head taller, looks down at her, hunching over just to fit. Izon growls, gritting her teeth. "This feeling... it's incredible! Bu... but I just feel like I'm going to explode!"

Tik Tik waves her hand towards the wall, obliterating the thing and opening them up to the night sky. "Let's go someplace more befitting our new size and try out this body of yours.

With that, Tik Tik leaps out, spreading her wings and flying far from her troubles!
